I don't know about production costs for this video but on another channel where is just a man in a studio cold reading script so minimal costs (studio rent, writer, himself, editor) & he said he turned down a sponsorship that was only willing to pay him 10k for an episode because it wasn't worth his time to make a video for that amount. He's in EU where rent & cost of living are higher but I'm pretty sure both his writer & editor are remote workers so the costs probably aren't much different for this channel that has all us based staff since this Chanel requires more than 3 people but also us wages are generally lower than EU
Thank you for asking! Unfortunately Microcosmos sunsetting isn't something we're planning to reverse, but if you'd like to support the team as we wrap up this show (and make many, many more shows like SciShow and Eons), you can support us at complexly.com/support. Thank you for your enthusiasm for Journey to the Microcosmos!
@@journeytomicro will James still be doing his thing on Instagram? I'm assuming so since this is just what he does but, doesn't hurt to ask and be sure!
I am currently working with seed shrimp, a distant cousin. It's always incredible to me how quickly they can move around and how voracious they are. Since I'm studying enclosed freshwater systems and how to optimise them through both technological and ecological means, they serve a very important role in biodegradation and they even circulate oxygen in the otherwise still water. I'm not yet working with systems big enough to carry a freshwater clam, but the ostracods are teaching a me A LOT that I will be able to apply to their care.
@@nhokonhokopuala That being said I think we should eat bugs and fish. Did you know cockroaches and caterpillars are actually really good at building up fat and protein? If we don't domesticate them but rather provide niche spaces where they grow in population we can even restore and maintain many native species while also taking advantages of their bounty humanely. Plus fish farms can be really beneficial AND capable of being scaled up without damaging our climate, unlike with the meat industry because of its intensive use of land resources. Unlike the farmers field required to grow feedstock for cows, fish can be grown in entirely closed loop environments. I remain hopeful that we won't have to stop being omnivores because we got stuck in a bad loop for a while.
Weird flex, but ok 😂 I have talked to a couple of bivalve aquaculturists, mainly oyster growers, in Washington and Oregon. The lengths they go to grow spat into adults is amazing. For example, spat are highly sensitive to water chemistry like pH because of their tiny shells. Also their favorite spot to set is an old shell, perhaps because "if this spot was good enough for an oyster before, it's good enough for me".
Y'all considering releasing a "Complete Microcosmos" dvd collection and/or download? Although I'll miss the channel, it would be a really fun one to add to my shelf.
@@rantingrodent416 I've watched most of them. 😅 The physical token of support and permanence of an offline media is still something I value. (Although I grant that probably makes me a bit anachronistic even among elder millennials.)
6:16 Tabasco sauce? Is that what the red liquid being used is? I remember seeing a video on how Tabasco is great at keeping bivalves from "clamming up".
Happy to see the high quality content. We don't need expensive writing, an expert giving the world information for the love of education. That's far more important, James is a expert with Jaming, Hank expert with Hanking and that's enough to talk to people who are experts with a lot of other things.
Seeing Hank appear in a lot of different Science TH-cam channels helps a bit. I normally listen to the videos, so it's easier to pretend it's coming from this channel.
I wish I could get paid to just watch little creatures and animals go about their lives ! How are they so much more interesting than humans? I love them
Sorry to hear your channels closing end of the year, I literally just got my new microscopy channel going would love any pointers you might have! Thanks for all your fine work over the years!
"Always another way" - that's downright inspirational. And this was so COOL! Being able to see the wee things moving like that is incredible. And the fact that someone thought to use an endoscope to get a look inside the shells is just amazing. Even the dead spat are astonishing to look at, with so much color in them. I've always liked seashells - especially bivalve shells - for the nacre and that beautiful play-of-color it can have. Seeing it in this way makes me think about just how that substance comes to be, and brings me right back around to the wonder of "I never knew that!"
This show helped ne get my IB diploma in highschool. It inspired my biology senior project where i took samples of freshwater from my local golf course to find out how the fertilizers and chemicals affected micro diversity in surrounding ecosystems. I even found a litte rotifer and a bunch of slug looking desmids
makes me think about how, when i was in middle school, i picked a living clam out of a stream and took it home with me. i kept it in a mop bucket. it, of course, died, and i still feel bad about it. no one told me not to take it, i had no idea it was a living thing until i was already home with it..
Just for remarks: some audience may not realise that Bivalves' Larvae Size of 100 -150 microns is just simply... 0.10 - 0.15 mm.(1/10 to 1/7 millimetres) (1,000 microns = 1 mm.) & ( 1,000 mm. = 1 metre) & (1,000 nm. = 1 micron) Micron is 1/Million metre ; nanometre (nm.) Is 1/Billion metre Millimetre is 1/1,000 metre... (Just in case that s'body.. need to know)
We should study and proliferate the life under the black sea in labs as much as possible because black sea becomes very hypoxic very fast. From the 27.5 mol/m² in 1950s to 12.5 mol/m² in 2020s the decrase trend seems to be -0.18 ±0.016 (mol/m²)/year. Which means that if the same trend continues in at best 70 years at worst 68 years Black Sea will become anoxic it’ll be a catastrophic event. Hopefully we are missing something
Hello, this is Robert, and I am wondering, how can you enhance the color on your microscope, i am just not sure the best way to notice the small indivigual bacteria swimming on a slide, should i make the slide darker?
You cannot destroy energy also you cannot destroy the goodwill of someone with nothing not gifts or money because it comes from within ,desire to help and to love each other that no one from this planet or another planet can’t destroy ever, so eat this for breakfast. There is no fear. There is only desire to help each other to be nice to each each each each other to talk to each other to be there for each other. You just those feelings . Say (no)to war say no to betrayal.
Different kind of spats. Mr Astaire was referring to a sort of white gaiter worn over the shoe but under the trousers and buttoned up the side to stop water etc. getting into the top of the shoe. Scrooge McDuck wears them over his bare feet but his are red.
I just love how very chill Hank narrates these videos. Quiet enthusiasm is such compelling storytelling.

I'm seriously am going to miss this channel
Me too. Makes me sad knowing the end is near.
Is it deleted?
😢
Me too
Always seemed too good to be true
what would need to happen financially for this show to continue? i kinda took it for granted bc TH-cam is free but I would pay for this
I too would pay
They have a Patreon account that I just joined…better late than never I guess, please don’t stop making these @Journeytothemicrocosmos, PLEASE!! 😂

You guys can't end this show, how else will I fall asleep?
wdym??
@@nagydoesstuff It's gonna be shut down at the end of this year. The old vids will still be up, but no new ones will come

I never realized that a bivalve already has its final form including shells when it is 0.1 mm in size.
I just can't forget that this show is ending and I have been here since the beginning. This is such good content dammit.

You’re literally my favorite channel on TH-cam please dont stop making videos ❤
I wish I could get paid to just watch little creatures and animals go about their lives ! How are they so much more interesting than humans? I love them
I'd LOVE an episode around Barnacles!
Sorry to hear your channels closing end of the year, I literally just got my new microscopy channel going would love any pointers you might have! Thanks for all your fine work over the years!
Hank's Microcosmos voice is the counter-balance to his TikTok voice.
Sooo squid, octopi, and cuttlefish, are clams with brains! Clamthulu lol.
It's amazing to think that the closest relatives of snails are among the smartest animals in the sea.
"Clams are stupid" - Ze Frank
They're all Molluscs, yup! Most Cephalopods used to have shells as well!
All Molluscs are honestly really fascinating.
Slugs too
But not brachiopods

Endoscopic footage of the inside of a bivalve is probably one of the coolest things I’ve seen this year
Shout-out to the crystals (grains of sand?), they are so beautiful. Awesome video!
Amazing video. Thank you so much for this.

Almost a million of us, don’t leave we love this! How can you walk away from all of us 😢

I thought the narrator sounded familiar. Hank has soo many channels
I can't believe this show is going to end! I'm so sad!!!
OH how cool is this. Amazing as always.
Wow I remember when they taught us the bivalves in biology class at uni, that footage from professor Ward is incredible.
I go to sleep on time and America drops an urgent video of scientists playing "here comes the airplane" with baby clams!
Another enchanting visit to the living jewels of the microcosmos.
i'm so sad this show is ending :( there's so much more to learn and observe in these tiny worlds 🥺

thanks asmr hank
I enjoyed seeing the blue with yellow filament pigments showing up.
Love the videos, still sad to know they won't continue for years to come.
Not sure what the mystery is and what it has to do with the Black Sea.
Thanks for Wards views, and everything. - exquisite extraordinary.

This show will be missed 😢😢😢😢😢

Hank Green is everywhere!
I'm going to miss seeing new episodes after you guys close up shop.
Is this micro clam can growth become normal size clam

This was a enjoyable TH-cam channel for sure
When you end this show will you please leave all these up on TH-cam?
Maybe you could do/show some about CHITON & ABALONE ; Must be interesting
Separated from Nautiloid (Ammonite) or you 've already...(?!?)
Oh, Abalone is kind of Snail (One major Valve), not Multiple shells- Chiton.
Was it an electron sweep microscope?

Did anyone see the 16th century Chinese man in the shell of the creature while he said his outro 7:24 ish
Love the song choice
Do bivalves sleep?
Imagine watching this video on mushrooms lol
wasnt this channel over like 6 months ago, is it still going, im so confused.
The Black Sea itself is a massive, incredible mystery that we're not ready to solve. Thank you for doing some part of it. ❤
I love all these amazing animals 😍
how these species pumping in water?
Scary, so scary, we aren’t not sure what this is, if only we knew what this is, but we don’t know what this indeed is 🙃
it looks like 2 moons merged together ;)
This channel wasn't appreciated enough. The ASMR community never found it and these sort of slow, lo-fi content is booming right now

Ols do more experimental videos like testing different chemicals on human cells

Uconn!!!!!! yeah boiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I want to see an embedded video feed from a pearl seed...
as being boiled wasnt bad enough they cut their lips off first 😮
i mean 2020 had me wanting to do that with human beards but bivalves are innocent 😂

Scientists need to study the RNA and the plasma of these mollusks. Not in need of oxygen means at least 50% of them have preserved ancient beginnings.
